They issued a joint statement Friday morning, saying they need more time, and didn't set another deadline.

Yet Friday afternoon, Mayor Sam Adams said in a Twitter message that their goal is to get a "draft settlement'' done by Oct. 22.

Adams, who serves as police commissioner, made a brief reference Friday morning to the ongoing negotiations between the city and federal justice officials.

The U.S. Department of Justice had set today as the deadline for a final agreement to be reached after a federal investigation last month found Portland police engage in a pattern of excessive force against people with mental illness.
